Conservation biology focuses on studying and protecting Earth's biodiversity. This practice involves understanding the impacts of human activity and developing strategies to conserve habitats and species.
Key Concepts
- Biodiversity: The variety of life across all levels of biological organization, including species, populations, and ecosystems.
- Ecosystem Services: Benefits humans derive from ecosystems like clean water, pollination, and climate regulation.
- Endangered Species: Species that are at risk of extinction due to factors like habitat loss and climate change.
- Sustainable Practices: Methods that do not deplete resources, allowing natural systems to function indefinitely.
